Priority for snippets

[pbogut]

Is there a way to provide priority for shippets?

What I'm looking for is some way to override one (or more) snippet with my own while using honza/vim-snippets. In ultisnip you could set priority in the fist line of snippet file like this:

priority -50

snippet blah "blah"
...

Then snippets in file with lower priority would be expanded in case of name conflict. Is there a way to achieve that in snippy?

@pbogut Thanks for trying out Snippy!

The feature you're looking for isn't currently available, but there is a workaround. If you put your custom snippets in after/snippets/, they should override any snippets provided by honza/vim-snippets in case of name conflict. That happens because Snippy follows the runtimepath order when loading snippets, which means snippets defined in folders coming later in the list will always override those loaded before.

Snippet priority has been added to Snippy. The syntax is the same as in UltiSnips. Snippets with higher priority override those with lower priority (default is 0). Because snippets from honza/vim-snippets don't have a priority set, it's necessary to use a priority higher than 0 for your own snippets to override them.
